Eh?  Don't see the relation.

Jon is discussing tactical implications of small arms.	You're asking
political and strategic questions.  The outcome of every single
firefight in Vietnam was favorable to the United States--but in the
long run, that wasn't the relevant question.  Or rather, it wasn't
relevant enough.
